    Clifford Chance system glitch

    Hi, I think I might have broken the CC website :DD I've started two applications, one for a TC in London which is not yet submitted and one for an intern in Luxembourg (as it doesn't say that applications to different locations are prohibited.) However, now it looks like I've submitted both...

    Slaughter and May TC Interview

    Also, I was told by the trainee (who was really nice) that the more questions the partners ask, the better, I wonder if this is true as the overthinking-the-interview stage has come :D

    Slaughter and May TC Interview

    How are they going to inform about the outcome? Is it something like a call for successful candidates and an email for the unlucky ones?

    Slaughter and May TC Interview

    ok it's done. The partners asked a lot of hard, technical questions on the article and I struggled a bit in coming up with sound answers... I hope it will be fine!
